Join Peninsula Open Space Trust and San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) for this fun and unique opportunity to help restore Bair Island!

This special volunteer activity has the capacity for approximately 20 volunteers. Volunteers will be guided by SFBBO’s staff and POST Volunteers, and you will spend the morning weeding invasives, or planting native species that will support Bair Island’s ecosystem. Spots are limited, so RSVP only if you are sure you can attend. 

We will release more details closer to the date of the event. Keep an eye out for an email containing information about what to bring, wear, etc! 

Please note that this activity is best for children ages 14+. All minors must be accompanied by adults for the entirety of the event. As Bair Island is a preserve, there are no dogs allowed. Thank you!

About Bair Island

The history of Bair Island is one of intrigue and suspense! In the 1920s, Bair Island used to be a cattle ranch. Soon after, it was a salt plant. Due to its beautiful location in Redwood Shores, developers wanted to create a residential area called South Shores. Local activists Ralph and Carolyn put a referendum on the ballot, then narrowly defeated the project. Consequently, Bair Island is now one of the last wetlands in the Bay Area and is host to many migrating birds.
